The following letter, read on Glenn Beck's show, is rapidly circulating
around the country. Americans everywhere identify with this 53-year-old
woman. She has given us a voice Once you read this, you will want to forward
it to all of your friends.. 

GLENN BECK: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona . She writes an open
letter to our nation's leadership: 

I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life.
Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I
no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue
issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents
my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer
feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views
or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please
tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that
you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written Please stand
up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would
horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind
of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and
secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the
trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done
that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with
legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding
supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining
unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped
immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to
the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and
honor it.

Four, cap and trade The debate on global warming is not over. There is more
to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive
decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and
then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully
restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind
your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real
obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010
census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees
contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop
the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and
investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our
taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the
allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more
involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello.
Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people.
Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is
mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because
they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will
support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my
employers? Why -- what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor
person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local
communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and
our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If
there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and
letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a
Band-Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great
hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than
you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about
it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some
straight honest talk. Please try -- please stop manipulating and trying to
appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me
for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your
friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop
hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input
from some non-politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an
emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am
not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent
person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am
busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of
the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay
our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our
hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the
weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our
children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of
the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks
and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are
very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a
speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed
into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the
responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not
laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust
me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but
you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid
on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We
would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such
urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.


>From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also 

>know

that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your
current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We
want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced
upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold
to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our
vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have
had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to
Washington . Our president often knows all the right buzzword is
unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did
the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your
overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we
want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You
work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are
coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy
with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent
majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save
money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you.
You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it
had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are
great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there
will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust.
We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on
voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will
use our last few dollars saved We will find the representation among us and
a grassroots campaign will flourish. 

We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come
in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced
with someone who will. There are candidates among us when he will rise like
a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't
care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are
willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters
to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It
is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it
and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we
are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not
representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and
consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired.
Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be
loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not
save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand
up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak
up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded
out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress
if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you
represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the
people are coming.
